Hi I was wondering if anyone here knows how to dry out mantis to frame them? I figured since I raised them I might as well do something creative with them after death. If anyone has any tips please help me out thanks.

You'll know when they have wings when you see long wings on their backs not hard to figure out.

They will be ready once they have their wings fully developed meaning they are adults.

Yeah I guess I'll have to wait and see haha I really wanted some but I guess people are dying to get them too. Hopefully you get more for sale.

umm I'm not sure what mantis you got but I can tell you this....if you have 6 living together prepare to lose 5...they will eat each other if not fed correctly or just for the heck of it so seperate them.

Well my birthdays in October and I have been DYING for gongys for a while and Sheldon sold out when I bearly signed on to the forum :lol: HOW LAME!!! haha oh well theres always next time..I hope lol well I'll be expecting something on my birthday now lol haha jk.

Your guys set-ups rocks and especially like your Rick very cool set-up..I have deli-cups everywhere lol my mom hates it but oh well except for my orchids who get bigger set-ups.

Well I put it in with my orchids(H.Coronatus) and they are molting fine and doing well so I guess the humidity must be being held pretty good. I like it so far and it makes the enclosures look a little more better in my opinion.

Well I feed my mantids with tweezers so none get a chance but as for the fruit flies they do occassionaly run under but a simple blow to the cup sends them flying out.

Hey I was wondering what you guys think of Vermiculite as a bedding for mantids? I just started using it the other day and it stays moist for a pretty long time and thats pretty good for the higher humidity requirements with mantis such as H.Coronatus. Let me know how you feel about it.

Hi this is a little off topic but I would like to acknowledge Stephan for writing me a caring e-mail asking if I was ok due to the recent wild fires here in California. Stephan wrote me at random asking if all was well and thats really cool of you Stephan and thank you for taking time out of...

Well how exactly do you sterilize peat moss? I agree with everything Leah said..plus I bet shes been dealing with stuff like this for way longer than us....

Well I agree with you Peekaboo but I guess everyone is for themselves.

That was Yens post.I think mites can be harmful to any animal or insects so I suggest you should clean all your containers with bleach then buy all new stuff for them cause they could wipe you out.

Well to be honest Eros and I once sold something to a lady in Germany and it took her 6 months for her money order to arrive. Once it arrived to Eros he did mail it back and she e-mailed me to confirm it.
